Chupi 100 za wanawake 'zadakwa' mpakani

Border police officers were surprised to find women’s used underwear being smuggled into Zimbabwe.

The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) has seized 100 pounds of second
hand g-strings, thongs and regular panties at the Sango Border Post.

“In a move aimed at safeguarding the health and safety of people from
dangerous and harmful substances as well as curbing smuggling, the
Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA) placed canine units at ports of entry
and exit into the country,” Zimra officials stated on their Facebook
account.

It is prohibited to import used garments into Zimbabwe, whether they
were purchased or donated.

The law is seen as a measure to help protect
the domestic textile industry.
The ban on imports of second hand clothes is also meant to address the
health problems associated with the use of second-hand underwear.
The economic crisis in Zimbabwe, has forced many people into buying used
clothing including underwear, which has been donated by developed
countries around the world.
